The southern parks of Tanzania offer something very different to the more famous northern parks. While they may not have the majesty of the Serengeti or the notoriety of Ngorongoro, parks such as Selous and Ruaha offer a distinctly more wild, untamed experience.

Our twelve-day safari covers three of southern Tanzania’s most exciting parks, with time in Ruaha, Selous, Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountains.
